RETURNED!!! Better save the box.It sounds great, and it should. It is expensive and will take you more than an hour to get it set up. It is NOT any kind of plug an play. You have to download the app and search for it with your phone, when that fails use the router setup button. But the sound par has to be right next to the router to get that to work. Once you get it connected it sounds good. It does not have any sort of display, so you just push buttons on a light weight cheap feeling remote and see what happens. I am really glad mine failed completely within 2 weeks and within the return period.

Wii-fi set up is nerve-breakingI bought the Omni Plus and two Omni 10 but in spite of all efforts did not get them to connect all together to wii-fi. The app is extremely poor and sends error messages inconsistently. After hours of trying out and a lot of disappointment- I packed it again and will return to the shop tomorrow morning. Product has not passed usability engeniting and is impossible to work with.

So i just bought a Omni Bar + and i have a very noticable sound delay, no matter if i use hdmi, optical or aux too connect it. please help me fix this.

Asked by: RoboDuck

I just bought it too. Same delays. But I am not going to waste a hour on the phone . It is just going back.

Is it possible to set up and control this system with Amazon Alexa/HK Allure smart speaker?

Asked by: FredrikE

Hi FredrikE.
The OMNI Bar is an independent system, and cannot work with Alexa or our Allure.
So this is not possible, unfortunately.

1. When connecting the Omni bar with an OMNI10+ for full surround experience, how do the OMNI+ receives the audio signal?
2. With the above configuration. How do you configure the rear, back, left, right channel?
Thanks and Regards

Asked by: Alvaro

Hi there, thanks for your interest. You can do so using the HK Controller App and by doing the steps below:
1 - Go to Settings &gt; Room management
2 - Select the room you wish to add additional speakers in.
3 - Select Set up multi-channel and you will be guided on how to add two OMNI+ speakers connected on the same network as surround or rear speakers.
4 - There's a page where you can drag the speakers to act as the left or right surround speaker and you would hear a confirmation sound from the selected speaker if its successful.
If you have questions or concerns, please submit a case request at https://www.harmankardon.com/support-contact.html and the Customer Service Team will be more than happy to assist you.

I've read in Wireless 5.1 Surround Setup from the Omni Bar+ manual, you need to connect all the speakers (OMNI10+) to a 5GHz Wifi Network.
How does it manages the audio distribution when you want a 5.1 surround experience with the HDTV (HDMI) as source

Asked by: Alvaro

Hi there, thanks for your interest. You can do so using the HK Controller App and by doing the steps below:
1 - Go to Settings &gt; Room management
2 - Select the room you wish to add additional speakers in. S
3 - Select Set up multi-channel and you will be guided on how to add the OMNI+ speakers connected on the same network as above, with the ability to assign any other speaker already on the network to this room.
4 - Once its done, continue to Source Set-up.
5 - The final step to set up your Omni Bar+ or Omni Adapt+ is to configure the external sources. For each source, HDMI TV, Optical, or AUX-in, you will select how you plan to use this source
6 - If you are not using this source, select &ldquo;Not used.&rdquo;
7 - If you select &ldquo;Watching movies and TV shows,&rdquo; then this input will have very little delay and good lip sync with the TV for video applications. But you won&rsquo;t be able to restream this input source to other Omni speakers in your house.
8 - If you select &ldquo;Listening to music,&rdquo; then you will be able to restream this input to other Omni speakers in your house. Bus an additional delay will be added for stability, which will be unsuitable for video applications.
9 - You can change these settings later by going to Settings &gt; Manage Rooms. Find the room you wish to change, select it, and then select Source setup. You will be taken through this step again and have the chance to reconfigure the inputs.
10 - After this step, room setup is complete. You may now set up additional rooms through the same
process, or start streaming music.

can I set up the omni bar with subwoofer without remote controller?
Also, can I control the system through mobile app without remote controller?

Asked by: VarunHK

You can set up the omni bar and the subwoofer even without the physical remote control as you can use the top panel of the Soundbar. You can also control the Omni bar+ using the HK Controller, but only when playing songs through the internet and not when playing it through wired connection.

Hi&nbsp;
can the woofer for the omnibus plus be placed flat on the floor?

Asked by: rich201

Hello! Although the feet of the subwoofer can be unscrewed, we do not recommend placing it flat on the floor because the bass quality would be affected. The sound would go directly up the ceiling rather than front firing.

Hi I have two hk omni 20 and an a
omni 10 not the plus model would these connect to any of your tv sound bars as I would like to be able to use it with the other speakers
Thanks Andy&nbsp;

Asked by: Charlton1369

Hi,
No, you would need Omni+ series speakers to combine with the Omni Bar+ to work as a full surround set. You can't combine the 1 generation Omni speakers in combination with any other soundbar.

i have omni plus soundbar and 2 omni 20 plus speakers, i have not been able to get them 5.1 configured. one omni 20 plus has a lower firmware version and will not update.. i suspect this to be the problem. any way to force an update on the box?

Asked by: dutchrobert

Hi,
Thank you for your question.
Yes, all speakers need to have the same firmware or else the 5.1 system will not work at all.
Contact our support via customer.support@harman.com with a picture of the current firmware version (found in the HK Controller app) and the MAC address of the specific device.
Go to settings - Product info - Product Software information and provide our customer service with the details.
